After almost six years, I’m still reaching for Maybelline Fit Me. Here’s my honest take on the updated Fit Me 24HR Powder Foundation with SPF 44 PA+++ and why this longtime favorite still has a place in my makeup bag.
“Does this actually work for me?” 😂
Maybelline Fit Me
Yes, six years. At this point, I think we can officially call it a long-term relationship. 😂
Wait… Isn't the Packaging Different?
This was actually the first thing I noticed when I picked it up. The Fit Me powder I remember buying around three years ago had that gold-colored packaging. So when I saw this one, I had a little moment of:
“Wait… Did they change it?” 😂
Why This Powder Still Works for Me
My “I Don't Have Time for This” Makeup
“Okay, I have 10 minutes. Let's make this happen.” 😂
Those are the days when Fit Me earns its place in my makeup bag. A little powder, a little brow, mascara, lip product—and I'm good to go. It gives me that more even, polished appearance without requiring me to layer multiple complexion products.
For everyday errands, casual meetups, content days, and those spontaneous “Okay, let's go!” moments, that's exactly what I want.
Matte Without Making It Complicated
And Yes, There's SPF 44 PA+++
What I Like About Maybelline Fit Me
✔ Easy to apply
Perfect for those days when I don't have the luxury of spending forever in front of the mirror.
✔ Matte finish
Works well when I want my complexion to look less shiny and more polished.
✔ Oil control
Especially useful in our warm and humid weather.
✔ Buildable coverage
I can keep things light or add more coverage where I feel I need it.
✔ SPF 44 PA+++
A welcome bonus in an everyday makeup product.
✔ Compact and convenient
Easy to keep in my makeup pouch for quick touch-ups.
✔ Affordable and accessible
One of the reasons I continue to love Maybelline. I don't have to treat every makeup purchase like a major financial decision. 😂 I bought this at Robinsons at P549.
✔ I already know it works for me.
Six Years Later… I'm Still Buying It
This is probably my favorite part of this review. In a beauty world where we're constantly being told that we need the next big thing, there's something comforting about returning to an old favorite. It isn't some exciting new discovery for me.
It's the familiar one.
The one I've used for years.
The one I know how to apply.
The one I can grab when I'm rushing out the door.
The one that doesn't require me to wonder whether my skin is going to have a completely different opinion tomorrow. 😂
And maybe that's something I've learned as I've gotten older. Not everything has to be new to be good. Sometimes, the products that stay with us are the ones that simply fit our lifestyle.
My Take as a 50ish Mom
Would I recommend Fit Me to every woman?
I think makeup is very personal. What works beautifully for me may not necessarily work the same way for someone else, especially because we all have different skin types, preferences and coverage needs. But for my everyday makeup routine, Fit Me remains one of those dependable products I happily keep around.
I'm a mom.
I'm busy.
I'm 50ish.
I don't always have the time to create a perfectly sculpted, Instagram-ready complexion. Sometimes I just want to look alive, fresh and presentable before heading out the door. 😂 And if a compact powder can help me achieve that in a few minutes? Girl, I'm keeping it.
So yes, after almost six years, I've bought Maybelline Fit Me again. The packaging may have changed. The formula may have evolved. But my appreciation for this little makeup staple? Still very much here.
And apparently, my Maybelline collection isn't going anywhere either. Because let's face it… A 50ish mom can still have a little makeup obsession. 💄😂 And I'm perfectly okay with that. 😍

When I'm just a little girl, I always begged to borrow my mom's lipstick. I mean, as a kid, I loved the idea of putting makeup on my face. For me, it was daring, bolder and more sophisticated. And that really motivates me, learning to put make up. That's why I join a group of makeup hobbyist and love to revisit that enthusiasm!
As far as makeup's concerned, many of us only wear it because it's the norm, especially if you're working in an office, you socialized, meeting different kinds of people, that is to make a good impression with clients — to look presentable. We don't want to step outside into the world with barefaced, and someone will look at you and said, "lumabas ka pa", you really leave the house looking like that?! But, honestly, as a mom now, I'm tired of putting makeup.
I find it hassle, especially if you follow the basic makeup procedures, putting on: the PRIMER, CONCEALER, and FOUNDATION. Annoying, right? Who wants to put makeup if you are in a hurry, like you have to attend first the basic needs of your family and work.
That's why, I accentuate my feature without hiding behind the mask of makeup. I am ok with a blush-on and a lipstick going outside. But, hey, wait! I've discovered something that will help us busy mom on how to drop the monotony of makeup.
Beautederm BARELY THERE 3 in 1
I discover this 3 in 1 product, not a coffee, but an easy-to-do makeup that will boost your confidence going outside. A beauty product that accentuates your femininity. It will not bury yourself under 5 layers of foundation. Barely There to see that you have it!
Very easy to use this product. Applying it once and that's it!
Embrace your face! No matter what anyone says.
Watch video here:
Indeed, no more hassle. Once you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin, then by all means, go out keep your skin looks normal and be sure that you're wearing Beautederm BARELY THERE makeup, it's perfectly made to carry that little-girl enthusiast mood into adulthood.
This product here is only P150 in online market.
It's BARELY THERE, as if you're not wearing anything on your face.

I really have the hardest time in putting false lashes, that's one of my irksome shame in makeup. I've done lash extensions and lash lifts, but as for the false lash strips, my skill level is just there. I'm not a beauty guru, but I love putting makeup on my face, for me, it's a satisfaction especially if you put false lashes perfectly!
DISCLAIMER: This is not a paid or sponsored post, this is based on my personal use of the product.
My usual routine in putting lashes and over the years I've tried it, I failed! Especially when you apply the lash glue, it's a complete mess.
I'm so happy that POLLY LASHES introduce ADHESIVE PEN LINER in the market. And as a Beauty Product Reviewer Blogger, I just can't settle for janky-looking falsies. I love to look for natural, dramatic lashes, but extensions are tedious and look expensive. Something that you are living in a luxury lash lifestyle, but budget-friendly.
I bought the product for P499 only. FREE Shipping Fee.
ACTUAL PRICE: ₱899+
💜 1 SET/KIT
✅ 3 Lashes (reusable up to 20x each pair)
✅ 1 Tweezer
✅ 1 Adhesive Eyeliner
As soon as my product delivered, I used it immediately. Honestly, I'm curious because I read so many product reviews regarding Polly Lashes and all are positive reviews.
So, here's my review for Polly Lashes.
Natural Look Lashes
Extra Full Length Lashes
Wearing fake lashes is like a love/hate relationship and that was before. Now, I really have the hardest time because when you start wearing it and you know how to do it alone, you start to look naked without them — like your eyes without mascara, or your ears without earrings. False eyelashes are just so much fun, and thanks to POLLY LASHES they pull the entire package, the good pair of lashes (that depends on your mood) and the best adhesive pen liner that helps your eyes look bigger, seductive and picture perfect.

Anyway, as an officer/member of the Davao Digital Influencers, one of our mission is to support and promote product brand from MSME's (Micro Small Medium Enterprises) here in the Philippines especially in Davao. I've been a supporter of this brand for almost a year now, and still excited to promote its product line.
One of the things that I worried about is my skin most specially my face. I love my complexion, but since I'm 40 now, I need something that can help me look better for the Holiday season.
Aromacology Sensi has been my skin and beauty partner for years now. (You can read my post here and click for more about Aromacology Sensi in my blog site). I had a quite makeover and treatment from them, what I like with the brand is that they use 98% made in raw materials like herbs, flowers, and fruit extracts plus their skin care products are best for Asian's sensitive skin and it is a BFAD approved product!
Aromacology MAGIC CUSHION
Magic Cushion become a fad via the list of awesome Korean Beauty Products, but to tell you the gist they are literally cushions soaked in BB cream ( known as "blemish balm" or "blemish base") inside a compact, paired with an applicator puff.
The formula in the Magic Cushion is apparently same as that of a bottled foundation but what makes it magic it all comes with collagen extract that restores skin elasticity, giving it a smooth, supple appearance combined with hamamelis and bamboo extract that soothe and hydrates skin.
Another thing is the blue applicator puff that comes in a compact, it is a non-absorbent.
Yes! A non-absorbent puff. Sound confusing? Right? When we used old sponge puff it absorbs the makeup and expels the content to our face with pressure is applied. And you need to blend the the puff to distribute it evenly to your face.
While the special blue puff has minimal absorption to give your face a flawless, dewy glow. Just pat onto face!
The excellent coverage leaves skin flawless, refined and photo finish, concealing the signs of time left on fine lines and discolorations with SPF 50+/PA++.
THE EXPERIENCE
Filipinos and most of the Asians are obsessed with lightening the skin. There are many that love and embrace their natural skin color, it's just a matter of choice. Here in the Philippines, there 3 ways in lightening and making our skin to glow: the Papaya soap, IV Glutathione and Magic Cushion.
It was my first time to use a magic cushion, but I already read a lot of positive reviews from different brands. Actually, I'm planning to buy online, but because I see the poster of Aromacology Magic Cushion I have to change my plan.
I tried the magic cushion. As for the after results, I did not notice a sudden change to my face skin tone, but I did notice that wrinkles did not occur on my face, skin was smooth, moisturized and glowing! Then after 10 minutes, I've notice that my face lightens.
The result was amazing! No wonder everyone loves magic cushion!
For the price, it is very affordable compared with other products. If your thinking to buy online but you have budgeted money, why not try Aromacology Magic Cushion.
They have an Introductory Price of PHp600 this run until December 20, 2016 only.
